27th Annual

 

Linden Cross Country Classic

 

Saturday, September 26, 2009

 

 

 

 

We would like to invite your school to participate in the Twenty-Seventh Annual Linden Cross Country Classic.  The meet will be held at Linden High School (tentatively). The course will be a measured 5000 meters, mostly on grass and trails with some hills. We will have the course well marked with paint and flags.

 

As we did last fall, we intend to do team scoring for the high school JV races. Hopefully it will provide a little extra incentive for your sub-varsity competitors to achieve a personal record. There will be no junior varsity team trophies, but complete results will be provided at the conclusion of the meet. As always, the top 20 boys and girls in these races will earn medals.

 

In addition to the high school boys and girls championships, we are hosting a middle school team race and a middle school/youth open race. There is no entry fee for the middle school/youth open as long as your high school or middle school has entered a team. If no team is entered, the cost is $5 per competitor. The middle school team race will be run on a 2-mile course and will be conducted under MHSAA rules.

 

All finishers will be timed and the times will be available after each race. Complete meet results will be available shortly after the meet. You may make roster changes on the day of the meet.

 

A concession stand will be available throughout the meet with light snacks and pizza at around 11:00.  Souvenir T-Shirts will again be on sale at a cost of $10.00.

 

Please contact meet director Clint Lawhorne via email at lawhorn1@msu.edu if you have any questions or concerns. Though email is best, you can reach me by phone at (810) 591-0450 (w) or (517) 625-9420(h).

 

Please return the enclosed entry form as soon as possible to let us know of your intentions.
